TO ALL WHOM .IT MAY OONOERN:

Beit known that I, ANTHONY B. SWD'' 1g, in the county of Worcester', andState of Massachusetts, have invented a new and improved Refrigerator;'and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to makeand use theA and it consists in made for properly distributing theice-water;

upportingy the ice and ldisposing ofthe water therefrom, a revolvingframe,

The shelt` is supported on the lugs e by the armsf. Gr is a ilange,whichis attached to the part A', inclining inwards, and thereby forming achannel, it, into which the water from thermelting ice is discharged. l

The wall-or casing of the refrigerator may be made double andnon-conducting, if desired, and the ice may be protected from theatmosphere by a non-conducting 'cover'over the part A', or by a flannelwrapped around it, .or by both combined. l
